History of the Disney Ambassador Program
The Disney Ambassador Program began during the Tencennial Celebration for Disneyland park, marking its first decade of success. As media requests and event invitations poured in, Walt Disney sought a special way to celebrate the anniversary, leading to the creation of the Disney Ambassador Program. Walt chose a young tour guide by the name of Julie Reihm to serve as an emissary of goodwill on behalf of Walt and the company. This was the beginning of the Disney Ambassador program, which has since grown internationally to all Disney parks and resorts.
The Disney Ambassadors of Disneyland Resort serve as cast representatives for over 36,000 cast members, official spokespeople for the company and emissaries of goodwill as they continue Walt’s legacy by sharing unique cast member stories and extending the Disney magic out into the community. Today, the Disney Ambassador Program has expanded to include representatives at Walt Disney World Resort, Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa and Shanghai Disney Resort.
